Longtime friends Saigon and Tru Life are joining forces to record an album together and are going to keep fans up-to-date on the recording of the album exclusively through HipHopGame.
“I feel like we’re just trying to bring a breath of fresh air back to the game,” Tru Life told HipHopGame. “People have been missing out on the music and there’s a lot of drama. Artists aren’t getting along with each other and me and Sai have been close friends before everything else. We have two different, huge fanbases and we’re just bringing that together to bring the people good music. That’s what we’re bringing – good music. We just felt like we wanted to give this to New York City and the whole world and blast this out on HipHopGame. This is just about music – no drama, just music.”
“We’re using what got us here, and that’s our talent,” Saigon said. “Our talent put us in this situation to get our music out there. At times we get sidetracked by the bullshit, but we have to bring it back to what made me love hip-hop and that’s the genuine shit, not the gimmicky shit. The radio is pretty much destroying hip-hop. The bullshit music is fucking it up because now everybody feels like they can do it. When everybody can do something, it gets so diluted and the music won’t be as potent. We’re not even going to call this a mixtape. We’re doing an album together.”
Being that Tru Life and Saigon were friends before their careers took off, the chemistry should not be a problem. “I just feel like you haven’t heard two people with that chemistry in a long time, like Capone N Noreaga,” Tru Life said. “When me and Saigon get together, it’s so easy. We can go in the studio with no ideas and come out with a hit record.”
“If people are familiar with the music we’ve done together, then they know it’s phenomenal, like ‘Yep Yep’ and ‘Bust Your Gunz’,” Saigon said. “There’s joints we never even put out that we did that are crazy. Everybody who fucks with me and my brother, look out for this because it’s going to be something crazy. It’s all going to be documented on HipHopGame. You’re going to be able to see how we do it. We don’t just beat up on rappers. We make good music.”

Lil Eazy-E just hit us up to release an exclusive statement about his feelings on Baby and Lil Wayne representing Blood in their songs, videos and appearances. Read it below:"First of let me start of by saying much love to all my Crips, Pirus, and Bloods out there that have lived and shed blood for what they believe in and represent, but All This Extra Fake Gangbanging going on is really getting out of hand Im seeing This nigga Baby on 3 songs Blooding and LIL Wayne soowooping at the awards enough is enough this dont have nothing to do with them Blooding if they was Cripping I would have the same reaction.
Those of us that are true to this need to stand up and say enough is enough. I got homies who are in jail fighting for there lives and homies who are RIP behind this thang and for these fools who are clowining and making a mockery of us Im telling you no more.
